Nice work on getting the site fixed up GerbilSoft! =) (with nearly 300 stats submitted in 3hrs-without errors, it’s safe to say you’ve fixed it! :D )

I've got multiple stats to submit, and will be around at that time tomorrow if it'll help.

I've had a look, and (in addition to Sonic 2 aforementioned ), these are other lists I've noticed that still seem to be affected. They don't come up with error when you click on them, instead there's no record of anyones name on these instead. These are the one's I came across:
Sonic 1

Sonic 4: Episode II

Just basically want to say, that I fully agree with this and I think its a very good idea and can't wait to see it implemented. =)
I for one, will use this system and edit my own submissions for the main game I competed in (SADX) as I can provide links for most stats I obtained in that game.
So yeah..huge thumbs up to this I guess :P

News and Updates / Re: New rules regarding emulators
« on: April 09, 2014, 08:11:04 pm »
Okay, I’ll start off by quoting myself here from page 2:
“Working out which emulators cause problems and implementing some kind of changes, with the identified emulators, may be a way forwards?â€
I’ll elaborate this a bit more and make myself more clear......
Identify accurate emulators. Identify the emulators that aren’t.
The emulators that aren’t accurate? A straight ban, no exceptions. If we know that an emulator is inaccurate and suffers from frameskips/lag……then there’s no way that its legitimate for competition. Its too complicated of an issue to even consider exceptions.
By banning inaccurate emulators this addresses what the key issue is, in the first place, which is “inaccurate statistics submitted by timer mishaps caused from an inaccurate emulatorâ€.
If we ban inaccurate emulators, going any further than this, such as requesting proof on ALL accurate emulators no longer addresses the issue of inaccurate submissions…..it does go into the issues regarding trust/catching BSers. This is entirely a different matter and should not be attempted to be addressed at the same time, when we need to focus on inaccurate submissions.
Therefore, my thoughts its that the rule should be removed, and with a bit of research and expertise from emulator users, ban the inaccurate emulators and we can move on from this.
Well, that’s my say/opinion on this, if it provides any constructive use.

Here are my thoughts:
I don’t know much about emulators, but I do know that there is a big difference in the range of emulators-as in some are basic some have very complex features.
Therefore, I strongly disagree that the ruling should be applicable for “all†emulators.
Take the games that have basic emulators. Sonic 1+2 can be done on Fusion, Advances on the Visual Boy Advance emulators. Someone new comes to the sight-maybe doesn’t want to take competition seriously and would be rather happy to achieve say yellow times…….would they really want to make the effort and provide video proof to every stat they do? I just think that it would discourage competition for those that play on an emulator that play more for fun- (as in not aim for records, or solid red stats).
Working out which emulators cause problems and implementing some kind of changes, with the identified emulators, may be a way forwards? (Not knowing enough about this, I don’t know how/who/when could identify these emulators and/or whether this is too complex to do).
Also, TSC is over 10yrs old. What is different now that additional rules need to be put in place compared to a 2, 5 or 10 years ago?

Wow, 10 years - That's a respectable amount of time :P
Also, lol at the rankings in 2003 using time machine-could do with a time machine actually....

Rules Revisions / Re: Sonic Adventure Series System Separation
« on: May 10, 2013, 12:10:00 am »
Being a SADX Competitor myself, playing on PC, I actually agree that it would have been better to of had two seperate charts from the very beginning, as your right about their being differences. . (and yes, at points I do wish I had a DC, lol) but to be honest, trying to seperate it now, would be very difficult as too many years have passed now and in my case, the DC players that play SADX are all better players than I anyway, so I wouldn't really want the lists split as of now. . . as removing players that have used DC=(Gamepro011, Jawzun, Avento128bits, F-Man...etc) all whom are I believe are retired from SADX, with them on a different list, then competiting wouldn't feel the same :/
As much as I agree with you. . its just too late to change it >_>

Beef / Re: The direction of TSC
« on: February 25, 2013, 08:57:11 am »
I've done everyone a favour, and removed my posts, (since it does appear I’ve just explained the current system without realising it) -remember, before posting, I didn’t actually know the system.
For the record, I wrote my posts with the belief that the majority of the legit members on this site that submit reds for multiple games may not be with the system fully. . or newcomers only capable of scraping the red territory be put off competing. . .especially when 40th can be a red. . . .
But when it comes to top 5-10 stats on popular games, maybe the system would work here. . .
Thinking of it again, I think providing proof is a good idea. . but only necessary for the top stats. .not all Red stats. (But again, that’s just my thoughts)
SonicBoom737, I was not initially arguing over the capital K, (that was sort of a joke, which is why I ended with “ :P †(Please don’t take me seriously XD), my initial thing I picked up on was my name spelt DarkPolarKnight. (Don’t worry, I’m not offended or mad about that, lol)
